I have just committed a small change to the testing branch (r4529) to
the Pcbnew footprint viewer that will allow the main toolbar to be

the window state between session works on various platforms before I
start to do this to all of the KiCad application main frame windows.
The wxAui stuff was put in place a few years ago with the intent that
all of the fancy layout features would be enabled. Since that hasn't
happened I thought I would start working on it incrementally rather than
get carried away an create a lot of problems. When you have some spare
time, please test it and let me know if there are any major issues. I
don't have wxWidgets 3 on my Linux partition and no access to OSX so
feedback from those users is very important since I cannot test those
platforms.
Thanks,

Hi Wayne,
It is a great idea to have dockable toolbars. I tested it with wxWidgets
2.8/Linux and the freshest wxWidgets 3.0 and in general it works fine
and the position of toolbar is saved.
One major problem I stumbled upon is that while using wx3.0, I somehow
lost the toolbar and now I cannot recover it. It could be an issue of my
window manager, but anyway - it could be good to have a menu where one
can toggle toolbars visibility.

Hey Orson,
You should not be able to close the footprint viewer tool bar. I
intentionally have the close button disabled. If you managed to close
it, then there is a bug in wxWidgets. What platform and wxWidgets
version where you using when this occurred? If I can duplicate it, I
might be able to fix it. As I apply this to the other KiCad apps, I
will add menu entries to show tool bars that have been closed.
Unfortunately the footprint viewer does not have a menu so I may have to
do something about that in the future if we want to be able to hide the
tool bars. Thanks for the help with testing.
Cheers,
Wayne
